Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?

Looks like ICQ is finally shutting down, just as interest in retro internet tools is growing.

It would be great to be able any of these clients with any of these servers and that all users could talk to each other

XMPP doesn’t have link previews or posting, photo albums, even the idea of a picture with caption text us foreign. No comment reaction, retraction or replies. Inline video or video stream, lol no, even gifs don’t work. Talking or video chat ? Not even in your dreams. No wonder the youths hang out on discord

I manage the xmpp server of my friend group and we don’t have any of that in gajim conversation and siskin

I think the few remaining devs agree with you. We think this suck & look forward to whatever comes next. Xmpp is stuck in the past.

Thanks, I told the ios users to give monal a try. One responded it didn’t work last time he tried. I will try the android app.

I think the most annoying is tge lack of opengraph support, bot or server side if it has to be. But no url preview suuuuuucks

I used to be a gentoo user in the 00s. Recently came bsck to linux and I find tge popularity of gentoo died down as fast as arch became popular.

Why does arch exist ? Is it like, gentoo but with a binary cache ? Can you automatically build everything from source still ? Is there something equivalent to use flags .

Is there anything akin to use flags ? Suppose there’s a package you need to enable sonething not enabled by default, how painful is that ?
